US gasoline demand


[Skip to the end]

While demand has been falling, it’s only down about 500,000 bpd year over year. World demand is growing faster than that and is still forecast to grow by about 1 million bpd in 2009, last I heard.

This means the demand for Saudi crude will stay more than high enough for them to continue to be swing producer/price setter.
